Default Picked up some CCW's....question

I'm having 295/18 and 335/18 888's mounted to the CCW's going on my '07 Z. They are 11's front and 13's rear, any issues? Anyone using this combo at the track?
I wasn't sure if the 305's would have rubbed or not.

There are a few threads on rub and tire sizes and it will depend on your ride height, alignment, tire and spring-rate.
- I use 315/18 and 345/18 R6s on CCW 11" and 13" I rub my brake ducts at full turn - nbd.

What tire?

Just double check the diameters... you need to keep the rear ~1" taller than the front... so AH and "Engine Drag Active" wont go nuts...

Running on track with the system off you can run a square setup no prob

I know several guys running square setups and all the way up to 315/345 setups with no probs. 18's all the way around.

Just got to make sure active handling and traction control are turned off. Just gets in the way on track anyways

I'm runing the same tires on my CCW C10s only my front wheel is a 10.5 inch (front C6 stock fenders). I also have the Stoptech 14 inch ST-40s on all four corners if you want to check them out sometime. I'm on the East Coast right now but will be back late next week.

I will Eric

Right now I've been using the NT05's 285/18 & 335/19 and have been very happy with them. I managed a 1:33 best at WSIR.

I've heard good things about the 888's so I'm hoping for some faster lap times

San-

I'll be heading down to Temecula on the morning of the 10th. If we can hook up then I'd like to check out the ST-40's and hear how you like 'em.
The 11th is the WSIR Corvette Challenge.

I'll pm you with my cell..
